The first Sunday in February
and we got seriously blessed by being part of a healing:
Mandy and I were ministering at a church service in Sheldon
(actually it’s in a school hall - a sort of gymnasium with a
stage at one end). After bringing music and the word, we
were at the front chatting to people when a girl came up to
me and asked for prayer. ‘I need prayer for healing’ she
says, ‘I’m in a lot of pain.’ I ask her where it hurts and
she replies ‘It’s a job to know where to start, I hurt all
over.’ I discover she has an artificial hip after a car
accident which has caused spinal and back problems too. I
ask her would she know it if she were healed and pointing to
a stiff leg she said yes for sure! I began thanking the Lord
and commanding healing and goodness to the damaged parts of
her body in the name of Jesus, just as we always do. As I
was praying for her, Mandy came over and joined in: ‘Can I
touch your stomach?’ Mandy asked and as she did so,
immediately the girl began smiling and then laughing as
Mandy spoke joy over her. She moved her leg – ‘it doesn’t
hurt’ - she moved her shoulders – ‘the pain’s gone! It’s
completely gone!’ Then with a smile as wide as the Mersey
she told us both: ‘I didn’t say anything about my stomach –
but I had a cancer recently removed from it!’ We
watch her eyes light up and a smile break out on her face as
she made ever more expansive movements, bending this way and
that with her body. Eventually she ended up skipping and
dancing around the place and telling people around what had
happened. Being there and watching this happen is like being
made brand new. Thank you Lord Jesus for all you have
provided.
